Fig. REF  shows a 1-species autocatalytic CRN,
which for suitable parameters possesses two metastable states,
expressed as two stable fixed points of the mean-field
equations (REF ). The bipartite graphical
notation in the figure represents the decomposition of CRNs due to
Horn and Jackson [1]} and
Feinberg [2]}, and is elaborated in detail
in [3]}, [4]}.
